Janet Jackson & Jill Scott To Headline This Year’s DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival
I think it’s safe to say that South Africans are spoilt for choice when it comes to entertainment. Given the amount of festivals and shows that we’re expecting, one announcement that has definitely got people waiting in anticipation, is this year’s DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival. Two of the world’s biggest artists, Janet Jackson and Jill Scott were announced as this year’s festival headliners boasting a mix of South African artists to give us the best experience that money can buy.
The festival will take place on September 21 and 22 at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg.
To mark three decades of creative freedom since South Africa’s first democratic election, this year’s gathering will be expanded to not only feature delicious food and lively music, but also art and fashion.
While the festival has always been accesible in terms of ticket prices, this year has had consumers in shock over their GA ticket pricing which would cost you R1050 (as a non-DStv member) ranging up to R3250 for The Delicious Lounge access and a hefty R8350 for Injabulo Luxury Suite.

The event’s co-founders Tom Pearson-Adams and Lloyd Cornwall, shared in a joint statement:
“We are thrilled to be returning with a very special commemorative festival to celebrate 30 years of creative freedom in South Africa.
“Something that sets our rainbow nation apart is our exceptional creative and cultural talent, which has been a cornerstone of the festival since we started out in 2013. We are excited to be building on that to include a special spotlight on our country’s cutting-edge artists and fashion designers at this year’s event.”
Meanwhile, Multichoice’s group chief marketing officer, Yatish Narsi added that they are “proud to share in the 30-year celebration, having been founded in late 1994”.
“Our business has a unique place alongside our young democracy and we are honoured to have played a role in enriching the lives of South Africans through the likes of DStv.
“This festival has grown tremendously over the last 11 years. It has become South Africa’s premier lifestyle and entertainment event and DStv is delighted to once again be on board, celebrating 30 years of creative freedom,” Narsi added in the statement.
Tickets for the festival are currently on sale and can be purchased from Ticketmaster.
